we gave probably the largest single tax break in america. -- encourage home ownership. but i do not believe these banks were pressured into doing this. it was very much in their interest to the issue these high return mortgages, particularly, those institutions which felled in the back of their mind they were too big to fail and could take these high-level of risks without the chance that they would end up paying for it. at this point, the first day in one of the year-long series of hearings, i do not want to make any final conclusions. while government policy has been to encourage home ownership, and that is something that we will be looking at in february, but i think there are a lot of other factors beyond that that caused the crisis of the severity we are currently experiencing. host: jim from michigan. good morning. caller: i agree to these banks and ratings agencies are partially to blame. the previous caller mentioned the community reinvestment act. if you look at the he pollution -- evolution of that act under the bush administration, and then fannie and freddie
